Karoly's Hungarian Tragedy

ByMichael Fitzalan

This is the story of Karoly, a man whose family protected Jewish refugees desperately trying to escape the advance of Nazi Germany and the advancing Russians. Karoly was used as human-shield by Romanian 'liberators' in Hungary. After the war, he was sent to prison for being a member of the Smallholders Youth Party under the communist regime. Given the option of starvation or working in a forced labour camp, he worked as a coal miner until he escaped the regime in 1956. This is the story of a man who cheated death and moved to England to start again from nothing, a broken political prisoner.
